RE: That makes sense.

They are the Hooker comp headers spec'ed for an F-series truck. I tried to order the super comps and they were N/A.

My truck is not here at the house but I will try to get whatever pictures you like next time I go get it.

There are a few at:

(Yeah, I know it is the wrong color, I will fix that when it is built soon.)

I base my observations on comparing the Hooker gaskets and headers with MrG and FelPro high performance gaskets. If you line a FelPro HiPo FE gasket up on the flange, the upper side of the header sealing ring passes ever so slightly below the top of the port in the gasket. If you tried to use a head with anything close to the FelPro sized port, it would not seal. Some of the truck guys have reported this exact problem trying to run ED heads.

It is beyond me why Hooker could not make the header so that it could be used with Edelbrock or other CJ style heads. Had I realized this when I bought the headers, I would probably have picked some other set...

 I'm pretty sure. -- Jay, 05/09/2004
 I know it's not the gaskets either. -- Jay, 05/09/2004
